Junior School Open Mornings 2026
Welcome
We are delighted you are considering JAGS for your child’s education.
Established in 1741, JAGS is the oldest independent girls’ school in London. Our founder, James Allen, championed a progressive approach to education that remains at the heart of all we do. Proud of our heritage, we continue to be defined by the forward-thinking, outward-looking ethos that has shaped generations of young women.
Our main Junior School entry points are at 4+ to join us in Reception (Pre-Prep) and 7+ to join us in Year 3 (Prep), although occasional places may become available in other year groups.
Book Your Place
Visiting the school is the best way to get a feel for life at JAGS. By seeing the school in action, you will gain a clearer sense of how this historic school nurtures each girl as an individual, helping her develop into a confident, ambitious and compassionate young woman.
